Prime Minister Imran Khan, while paying attention to the concerns of doctors and other paramedical staff after their colleagues contracted the deadly virus, had sought a comprehensive plan from the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to ensure the protection of medical personnel.

It is important to mention here that there is a feeling of insecurity among medical staff who expressed concern after several doctors died of coronavirus while treating patients from new viruses.

According to Ministry of Health statistics, on May 28, 17 health professionals lost their lives, while 1,904 medical staff members tested positive for COVID-19.
